they were ready for regime change back in the clinton administration. and then you have essentially no organized opposition the president took his case in 4 national addresses from september of 2002 so we went to march in march of 2003. what is fascinating is although there was a slight majority of the country in support of going to war under the best possible circumstances for making your case, what is really interesting is, public obvious during all of that time basically didn't move at all until we want to war and then there is a natural reallyally behind the troops. so he did have a slight majority, but what he couldn't do is build on that majority. and, of course no president likes to go to war on a 51-49 vote. you prefer to have a 75-25 vote. and the president couldn't do that. now, it's not because in this case george w. bush wasn't he will we kept or wasn't working hard and he may well have been wrong in what he wanted to do. but the fact is, once again it's very hard to move the public. >> yeah, again, i totally disagree. i mean look at the ira
